As you can see I live in England and here were measure blood glucose readings in mmol/L but I believe in America and other countries it is measured in a different way in mg/dl.
As I read these posts while I am used to bg readings of 6.5 and 7 many other posts are quoting figures more like 170 or 130. Does anyone have a comparison table or conversion figure so I calculate one from another. I find this a bit confusing when trying to understand these posts.

You divide or multiply by 18 to convert back and forth. There is an online conversion calculatator here...

Many thanks Cyborg for the info, it was very much appreciated, that is a very useful site and I now have it installed on my desktop. It is nice to know as a diabetic when help is needed there are always people such as yourself about who will help you out and that is proved with forums such as this.

I'm finding it a tad weird reading people measure 180! Sure i'll get used to it

When I first started here I felt the same! I'm getting used to it now, I don't even reach for the calculator much anymore.

It's a shame we don't all use the same numbers, though...
